This spring, MEDLIFE: UConn will be traveling to Lima, Peru from March 14, 2020 to March 22, 2020 for a medical volunteer trip! We are currently recruiting volunteers to travel with us and set up mobile medical clinics in the developing communities in the Lima area.
While we are at the clinics, you will have the opportunity to:
-Shadow and assist physicians and dentists
-Triage patients
-Teach children how to brush their teeth
-Educate community members on common health disorders
-Help the pharmacist dispense medications
Additionally, one day of the week will be spent on a developmental infrastructure project in the community.
We are holding an information session on February 5th in room 025 of the Family Studies Building from 6pm-7pm and having a general body meeting on February 6th at PRLACC in the Union from 7pm-8pm. All majors are welcome to apply. Applications close February 12th, 2020, however space is limited so the sooner you apply the better! If you are interested in attending, you may apply for our trip here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1L61pL7NTzbOw-knsFUJz_ILXeYrr8U7uMU2FwBgtmJ8/edit#responses.
